To further reinforce its commitment to delivering products that meet the highest standards of safety, quality and reliability, Renishaw has made a multi-million-pound investment in a new dedicated facility at its Headquarters in Gloucestershire, UK.
The invesment significantly enhances the company’s ability to test its products under the environmental and electrical conditions encountered during transportation.
The new testing facility houses a variety of state-of-the-art equipment, including a large electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) chamber, devices to test electrical safety, and equipment for environmental simulation such as accelerated life testing. The latter includes electrodynamic shakers that identify the resonant frequency of Renishaw products and then subject them to many years of use in just a few hours.
As a global supplier of system-critical precision metrology and manufacturing products, a crucial aspect of Renishaw’s relationship with its worldwide customer base is ensuring that products reach their destinations in perfect working order, regardless of the environmental conditions encountered during transit.
To achieve this, the new testing facility also houses equipment that is designed to simulate a wide range of conditions faced during transportation. This includes temperature ovens, climatic chambers, a negative pressure vessel, and a positive pressure vessel. By running a comprehensive series of tests, Renishaw can identify any potential issues with packaging and make any necessary improvements before a product is shipped.
Luke Worthington, Senior Environmental Test Engineer at Renishaw, said: “By implementing comprehensive testing at Renishaw, we ensure that product quality and reliability are upheld to the highest standards. Our continuous efforts to enhance our testing facilities and methodologies keep us at the forefront of innovation in environmental testing. Every product we manufacture is built to last and rigorously tested, contributing to Renishaw’s reputation as a leader in precision engineering and manufacturing.”
